Hey

I have never worn out a clutch completely. I am sure that it isnt a worn clutch.

What happens is when changing gear sometimes(prolly the aggressive times), from 1st - 2nd i find the clutch getting stuck up in the air(as if the crunch wasnt bad enough). i know it cant be good for it and i continue with the 2nd to 3rd gear change with it still stuck. clutch engagement acts normally an all. i either give it a sharp tap and it swings back down, lately i just drag it back down with my foot.

anyway, this is just a warning that this odd thing can occur, an suprise u like it did me.

any way some experience or info would be good. what you all think? need some oil? little lubrication?

Cheers

approx how much does a exedy HD clutch cost.. + installation??

ive done about 81 k in my car ... it slips every now and then ... i think the clutch may be going (i learnt to drive manual on this car ... :( i think i gave it some extra wear and tear)

Hey just an update.

Took it to get serviced and explained how the clutch pedal was getting stuck on its way back to resting position.

i mentioned this site and the fact that this(our) car(sportivo) and its owners has had alot of different and technical problems.

i myself was thinking it needed a clutch adjustment as it hasnt been in for that.

Got it back yesterday and was told that they bled the clutch's hydrolics.

Anyway it is still happening. :-( . Im goin to call them for the adjustment soon. the problem doesnt seem to be inhibiting any other driving components.

So that didnt work, ill update this when i have the adjustment done, in the future.

if it doesnt swing back....how do u get it back and change gear's and keep your rev's??.....

if they have done the hydrolics thats part of the adjustment (thats what they told me), but i have never had this problem YET *touch wood*.

im thinking new clutch... but if u have a mechanic they will no what to do and try ever thing before they say new clutch

:D

good luck with it.. let us all no the out come

cheers,

For the clutch itself your looking at a bit over $400 if you got someone who can give you a good price, if not around $500 i think

while its out you should look at doing the rear main oil seal (rear main crank seal) which to byu from toyota is around $50

new gearbox oil not much,

labour, once again depending on where you go, i paid a mate $250 (my suggestion on price that he was happy with)

just get your clutch height adjusted..

i had the same problem wen i bought my 03 stivo from 1st to 2nd wen i use to flat chnge it use to get stuck for a second and then really take its time for the pedal to come bak up to normal height.. it cost me about 50$ for a friend to do it.. think u can get it done from toyota for about 80$ just give it a try man im pretty sure if your confident that ur clutch it alright for now then that might be ur prob.. just see if it wrks if u want, better off trying it then buying a hole new clutch wen the one u have might be ok for now.. and if u choose to get a new clutch i wudnt spend more then 650/700 MAX instald for a HD or any type of clutch u choose..

Definately your clutch! I had the exact same issue. Needed to use the top of my foot to pull it back into position...

The Fix - New clutch & Flywheel...

P.S I paid about $850 for my F1 lightened flywheel and clutch installed...You guys are gettin ripped :P

Check out this link

Currently have this xact setup and I swear by it. Have used Exedy clutches before, very bitey. These are perfectly suited to the HP we put out...And will handle about 250HP :D And with the lightened flywheel, she is so responsive, runs up the revs quite quickly :D

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
